Stolen from the other thread: Taste of Paradise - Multikicker

I would say Spectral Cloak would be one of the first shrouds.

Also, Landfall from Stone-Seeder Heirophant... Though it is just a triggered ability... and i don't know if it has the first landfall mechanic...

I think it is. If it were landfall it would be landfall - untap stoneseeder hirophant.

LOL... that accounts for something right? Before Zendikar was released, i already noticed it... because i use this card... i immediately noticed when landfall mechanic was introduced...

Plus i also noticed (and i'm sure you all also noticed, since it was too obvious) Poisonous from creatures that causes poison counters but it is not the same though but it might be the basis...

Oh yeah, Giant Spider was (I believe) the first creature with reach. It's also been in every core set. :)

Emblazoned Golem
this could be the first card with the sunburst mechanic, if i'm not mistaken...

Well, somewhat close to the sunburst mechanic, of course... it is missing the charge counters, of course...

Well, not charge counters... those are for non-creatures... So yeah, similar to sunburst...

No. They just took an old idea and toned it down just enough to make it a large part of an entire set.

I believe the first suspend card was all hallow's eve.

A sorcery that when you play is has 2 (scream instead of time in oracle text) counters, and remove one in your upkeep.
The other difference is that the spell has to be countered before the time counters are put on it and suspended cards have to be countered when the last counter is removed.
It's from legends, way before suspend was thought of.

It's a strange card, because it's a sorcery.

no, youre thinking of Ancestral Recall, from Alpha, Beta, Etc.

Vision is the suspend version, from Time Spiral.  which was of course, after Isochron Scepter.

They probably changed it to avoid the exploitation of changeling of figure of destiny. Bad call there.

Because it's called Exile and it exiles a nonwhite creature. This was back when it was called "removed from the game".

Turbine, tribal flames was not the "first" dominion card, but all the cards that now have dominion were being called that with the release of invasion.

Look through the invasion set (God how I love that set) and you will notice several cards with dominion.

Al hallows eve is now a enchantment card, they errataed it not long after production because it was screwing with people.

Then apparently they changed it back. . . but who the hell cares about today's wording it kinda sucks. . . I'm tired
